Okay, so how many numbers from 1-24 are prime?

jadeishere · Answer

well a prime number can only be divided by 1 or itself, like 7 for example. 7 can't be divided by anything evenly besides itself, or 1.

anonymous · Answer

so the numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23,

anonymous · Answer

Probabilities are always between 0 and 1, and 9/24 is a lot bigger than one. It's 9/24 as you first thought :)
